This is a quick getting started guide with the greeter service example.

### Prerequisites

### Prerequisites: Service Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
There's just one prerequisite. We need a service discovery system to resolve service names to their address.
|
||||
The default discovery mechanism used in go-micro is Consul. Discovery is however pluggable so you can used
|
||||
etcd, kubernetes, zookeeper, etc. Other implementations can be found in [go-plugins](https://github.com/micro/go-plugins).

|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively we can use multicast DNS with the built in MDNS registry for a zero dependency configuration. Just pass `--registry=mdns` to the below commands.
